Chapter 331 Honey and Wine
Yang Zhengshan observed the surroundings in the moonlight and asked, "Did you buy this place?"
"How is that possible?" Luo Shang laughed and said, "I just bought the mountains and forests and the manor over there."
"What about this pier?"
"It was just recently built!" Luo Shang said.
Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "Yes, this place can be used as our transit station in the future!"
"That's what I thought too! I have already built a lot of warehouses in the farm over there! I have also arranged a lot of guys to guard them!"
Luo Shang has always been careful in his work. Since he asked Yang Zhengshan to come, he naturally prepared everything.
Moreover, Luo Shang is no longer a small businessman. Even in Jiangnan, he has a lot of manpower under his command, including many martial artists and of course some veterans.
"Sir, we can go to the farm to rest first!" Luo Shang said, pointing to a road under the shadow of the mountain.
The Zhuangzi he mentioned was on the other side of the mountain, just around the hill in front of us, about three or four miles away.
The Dafu ship was unable to dock, so Yang Zhengshan could only take a small boat to dock. By the time Yang Zhengshan docked, the dock had already started unloading.
There were two merchant ships docked at the small pier, brightly lit by hundreds of torches. The soldiers and boatmen on the ships unloaded the cargo, and the men arranged by Luo Shang loaded the cargo onto the carriages and transported them directly to the farm.
"Actually, we can wait until daybreak to unload the goods!" Yang Zhengshan said.
Luo Shang said, "I have just discussed it with Manager Sun. We can take turns unloading the cargo. It won't be too tiring."
"Our dock is too small. We can only accommodate two ships at a time. We can't use too many people. Moreover, the big ship can't dock. We need to turn the ship over. It will probably take a long time to unload it!"
Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly. These things were arranged by Sun Cheng and Luo Shang, and he just said it casually.
Afterwards, they came to the Zhuangzi that Luo Shang mentioned.
This village has about thirty households, and includes thousands of acres of surrounding mountains, forests and farmland, most of which are mountains, and the farmland is only about three hundred acres.
Farms like this are very cheap in Jiangnan, because the fields here are all thin land. Luo Shang only spent more than three thousand taels to buy this farm.
The people in the village also became Luo Shang's tenants.
At the foot of the mountain behind the village, there is a newly built house, which is the residence arranged by Luo Shang for Yang Zhengshan.
It was dark. Yang Zhengshan carefully observed the surroundings. He followed Luo Shang to the room arranged for him and went to rest.
In fact, he didn't sleep. Although it was past the hour of Chou, he didn't feel very sleepy.
Given his physical condition, even if he didn't sleep for several days and nights, it wouldn't have much impact.
The reason why he followed Luo Shang's arrangement and came to rest was that he felt that if he didn't rest, others would probably feel embarrassed to rest too.
Yang Zhengshan was not sleepy, so he simply entered the Lingquan space.
Today, the spiritual spring space is very large, with a diameter of nearly seventy meters, which is about the size of five or six acres of land.
The stone pool in the middle has turned into a spring, with water bubbling up.
Yang Zhengshan dug several canals to divert the water from the stone pond to all directions, nourishing the surrounding fields.
On the field, the circle near the pond is a medicinal field, which is about one acre in size. Half of it is planted with precious medicines collected by Yang Zhengshan, and the other half is planted with ordinary medicinal herbs.
Next to the medicinal field, Yang Zhengshan also fenced off a piece of land, built a thatched house, and dug two cellars.
Around the medicinal field are various fruit trees and tea trees, all growing very lushly.
Yang Zhengshan took good care of the tea trees, but he simply pruned the fruit trees. The closer they were to the periphery, the less care they received.
When he reached the outermost area, Yang Zhengshan even directly scattered some random seeds and let them grow freely.
There was no other way. As the space became larger and larger, Yang Zhengshan could no longer take care of it. He spent most of his time in the space brewing wine and frying tea, and had no extra time to take care of so many fields.
However, even without his care, the plants in the space grew very lushly.
The space is not affected by seasons and weather, as if every moment is a warm spring, and every moment is the best time for plants to grow.
Moreover, the Lingquan space seems to be able to meet the environmental and geological requirements of any plant. Plant growth has requirements for the environment and geology. Some plants are afraid of waterlogging but not drought, some plants are cold-resistant, some plants like shade, etc. However, these plants can grow luxuriantly in the space, and their growth rate is much faster than that of the outside world.
After Yang Zhengshan entered the space, he first went to look at those precious medicines. Precious medicines grow slowly. Except for ginseng, the others have grown for several years with almost no major changes.
As for ginseng, Yang Zhengshan really has no shortage of it now. There is not much ginseng in the medicine field, but Yang Zhengshan has scattered a lot of ginseng seeds in the orchard outside.
After looking at the precious medicines, Yang Zhengshan looked at the ordinary medicinal herbs. Many of them could be harvested, but Yang Zhengshan didn’t have the time, so he could only let them grow freely.
After picking a basket of herbs needed for making wine, Yang Zhengshan went to the orchard and picked a ripe orange. He peeled it and put it in his mouth. Immediately, the sweet and sour juice filled his mouth.
Looking at the fruits hanging on the branches, Yang Zhengshan felt a little headache.
He didn't know what to do with all the fruits, as many of them had fallen to the ground before, and the ground was now covered with saplings.
This is the most troublesome part. Yang Zhengshan certainly cannot let these saplings grow, so he can only pull them out.
Just as Yang Zhengshan was pulling out some extra saplings, a buzzing sound sounded around him.
There is only one animal in space, and that is the bee.
It was specially placed in the space by Yang Zhengshan for pollination of plants.
For this purpose, Yang Zhengshan specially placed more than a dozen beehives in the space.
The bees seemed to be very dissatisfied with Yang Zhengshan's arrival. As soon as he appeared, they gathered around him and wanted to drive him away. Unfortunately, Yang Zhengshan was invincible here.
This was also discovered by Yang Zhengshan after he released bees into the air.
He discovered that his body in this space was different from that in the outside world. His physique, strength, and even cultivation were the same, but there seemed to be a fundamental difference between the two.
It was as if his body in space was a mass of energy, not flesh and blood.
Yang Zhengshan couldn't explain the specific situation, but anyway, as long as he was in the space, his body would not be harmed in any way.
Seeing the bees, Yang Zhengshan thought of the beehive.
He walked through the dense orchard and found where the beehives were placed.
He randomly picked out a row of beehives and looked at the honey inside, his eyes lit up.
This was his first time taking honey from these little guys!
I took a little and tasted it. It was delicate and silky, melting in the mouth, sliding across the tip of the tongue, sweet, and the floral fragrance filled the nose.
After the honey enters the stomach, a warm breath spreads in the abdomen!
"This is?"
Yang Zhengshan's eyes suddenly lit up.
This feeling was somewhat similar to the first time he drank the spiritual spring water.
At that time, his body was in great deficiency. After drinking a bowl of spiritual spring water, he felt refreshed all over.
But now his physique is too strong, and he no longer feels anything after drinking the spiritual spring water.
And this honey can actually bring him a warm current, which shows that honey also has the effect of spiritual spring water, and even has greater effect than spiritual spring water.
But think about it, the plants in the space all grow under the nourishment of spiritual spring water, and the nectar collected by bees should be regarded as the essence of plants, so it is natural that it has the effects of spiritual spring water.
As for the fact that honey is more effective than spring water, this may be due to the hard work of the little bees.
After tasting a few more mouthfuls, Yang Zhengshan simply took two jars and filled them with honey despite the bees' attempts to stop him.
Back at the thatched cottage, Yang Zhengshan took out another jar of wine. This was not herbal wine, but fruit wine.
He had brewed a lot of fruit wine before, but he didn't sell it out.
Herbal wine has many benefits, which can be attributed to the herbs, but it is hard to explain why fruit wine has such benefits.
Therefore, Yang Zhengshan drank all the fruit wine he brewed himself, and even Yu Qingyi had never tasted it.
Add honey to fruit wine. The sweet and sour fruit wine plus the sweet honey make the taste even more amazing.
Yang Zhengshan looked at the two jars of honey in front of him, thought about it, and ran to the wine cellar with one jar in his arms. He found the wine barrel and poured all the honey into it.
After stirring it evenly, he knocked over a dozen jars of fruit wine separately.
"Well, royal jelly has some special effects that should explain it!"
"Then the special effects of fruit wine mixed with royal jelly should also explain it!"
Yang Zhengshan said so.
Explanation is a cover-up, and some cover-ups are full of loopholes, but as long as they are not widely disseminated, few people will get to the bottom of it.
After all, there are many magical things in this world, and it is enough to have an explanation that sounds reliable.
As for the remaining jar of honey, Yang Zhengshan planned to give it to Yu Qingyi and Xiao Mingzhao after returning.
Naturally, you should give the best to your daughter-in-law and son.
Yang Zhengshan was busy in the space all night. When he came out, it was already bright.
After changing into a single set of clothes, Yang Zhengshan walked out of the bedroom.
In March, the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is already very warm. You have to wear fur clothes in Liaodong, but you only need to wear a single piece of clothing in the south of the Yangtze River.
Yang Zhengshan had some personal followers, but these extravagant men were somewhat rough in taking care of him. Fortunately, Luo Shang also arranged a few maids for him.
Luo Shang understood his habits, so the breakfast was not very rich, just a bowl of porridge and a few side dishes.
Yang Zhengshan had just finished his breakfast when Luo Shang came over.
"grown ups!"
"Well! Have you eaten?" Yang Zhengshan asked casually.
"I've already eaten!" Luo Shang said with a smile.
"Is there something?" After finishing his meal, Yang Zhengshan took the towel handed to him by the maid and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"I have to contact the buyer of the goods today and don't have time to receive you, sir. Please forgive me!" Luo Shang said with a smile.
Yang Zhengshan laughed, "Why are you still being polite to me! Just go and do whatever you need to do, don't worry about me, I'll go out for a walk later!"
It’s a rare opportunity to come to Jiangnan, so Yang Zhengshan naturally wants to go out for a walk.
The fleet will probably stay here for two or three days. Sun Cheng and Luo Shang will be in charge of the commercial cargo, so he doesn't need to worry about it personally, so he has time to go sightseeing.
